you can stick that 80's bullshit up your arse.



...that is not to say there aren't a few 80's tunes worthy of Dante's place, but as time goes on they will be few and far between.

My friend came to me, with sadness in his eyes
He told me that he wanted help
Before his country dies

Although I couldn't feel the pain, I knew I had to try
Now I'm asking all of you
To help us save some lives

Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Where so many people are dying fast
And it sure looks like a mess
I've never seen such distress
Now won't you lend your hand and try to understand
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Such a great disaster - I don't understand
But it sure looks like a mess
I've never known such distress
Now please don't turn away, I want to hear you say
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Now it may seem so far from where we all are
It's something we can't reject
It's something I can't neglect
Now won't you give some bread to get the starving fed
We've got to relieve Bangla Desh
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
We've got to relieve Bangla Desh
Mmmm Mmmm
Now won't you lend your hand and understand
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

The tune with lyrics written specifically to appeal to people's better nature. Very little in the way of self promotion. Compare to similar campaigns in the 80s and 90s.

and I post this a non believer in much. but there is no denying this tune speaks to an inner yearning for something greater than mere existence.

Friends Of Distinction


Proposed USMB Theme Song: Going In Circles

The Friends of Distinction are an American vocal group best known for their late 1960s hits, "Grazing in the Grass," "Love or Let Me Be Lonely" and "Going in Circles". Founded by Harry Elston and Floyd Butler, The Friends of Distinction also included Jessica Cleaves and Barbara Jean Love (plus Charlene Gibson, who replaced Love during her pregnancy).

Elston and Butler's involvement in music entailed several groups, including the Hi-Fi's, Ray Charles' backing band. The Hi-Fi's also included Lamont McLemore and Marilyn McCoo, who would go on to be members of The 5th Dimension. When the group disbanded in 1966, Elston and Butler recruited Cleaves and Love for a new band; initially, Elston came up with the name Distinctive Friends, but Love suggested reversing the words to Friends of Distinction.
